Smart old man

I was walking around at the local mall today with my girlfriend, her son and some friends, it was a big "fireman sam" day so we thought it might be fun for the kids.

Anyway, as I was taking pictures of the kids with "Sam" this old man came over to me and started complimenting my camera (K10D with grip and 16-50*) saying my equipment must have been expensive etc.

So we started chatting about cameras and he said he wanted to get a DSLR soon and had been looking into the matter for quite some time (he must have been atleast 70 years old).. So I explained some of the benefits etc.

As it turns out, this man was a pentax man, and he admitted it was the only reason why he even said hello in the first place, I just laughed and said Pentax people are usually nice people and he agreed.

A fun moment, I think i could have sold a camera if i worked in a photo store today.. Hehe
